Jose Mourinho is planning a clean sweep of England’s top two divisions. The Special One has been touting the possibility of a Chelsea ‘B’ team competing further down the Football League in a different division from his ‘untouchable’ stars.
He said: "I would love to see it. I can tell you for sure that if that happened, players like Lassana Diarra, Mikel John Obi, Salomon Kalou, when they are not selected for the first team, they have a competition to play in a different level. So they should have a look. Like in Spain, they would not be allowed promotion. They don’t even play in the cup to stop the possibility of Real Madrid A against Real Madrid B."
Sounds like a desperate attempt to keep some disgruntled players at the club to me. Besides, is Saloman Kalou likely to want the likes of Dean Windass showing him what they think of big-time Charlies week in, week out?
